The phrase "Fal'ya budu Rabba hadhal Bayt" is an Arabic phrase that is taken from Surat Al-Fil, which means "let them worship the Lord of this house." In this surah, Allah recounts the story of how He saved the Kaaba from the attack of Abraha and his army of elephants, and thus emphasizes the importance of worshipping the One and Only God. The phrase "Fal'ya budu Rabba hadhal Bayt" serves as a reminder to the believers that the Kaaba is a sacred place of worship that should be dedicated solely to the worship of Allah, and that all acts of worship should be directed towards Him alone.

The prayer that has a complete silent recitation is Zuhr. In Zuhr prayer, the first two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) are performed with audible recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah from the Quran, while the last two Rak'ahs are performed with a complete silent recitation. During the silent recitation, the recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah are recited softly, in a way that only the person praying can hear themselves. This is in contrast to the audible recitation of the first two Rak'ahs, where the recitation is performed in a louder voice. The reason for the complete silent recitation in the last two Rak'ahs of Zuhr prayer is to emphasize the importance of being mindful and focused in prayer, even in a silent state. This is a reminder to the person praying that the prayer is a conversation between them and Allah, and they should strive to maintain concentration and devotion throughout the prayer.

Arafat is not required in Umrah. Umrah is a pilgrimage to Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year, unlike Hajj which has specific dates.

Bilal bin Rabah was the first person to accept Islam amongst the slaves. Bilal was an Abyssinian slave who was brought to Mecca and was owned by Umayyah bin Khalaf. When Prophet Muhammad started preaching Islam in Mecca, Bilal was one of the first people to accept the message of monotheism and became a Muslim. However, his conversion to Islam led to severe torture and persecution from his master, who tried to force him to abandon his new faith. Despite the torture and punishment, Bilal remained steadfast in his faith and refused to renounce Islam. His unwavering faith and loyalty to Islam became a source of inspiration for many early Muslims and his story remains a testament to the perseverance and strength of faith.

Ghusl after the stoppage of menstrual blood is called "Ghusl al-Hayd." "Hayd" refers to menstrual blood. "Ghusl" is an Arabic word for full-body ritual washing, which is a requirement in Islamic hygiene. The purpose of Ghusl al-Hayd is to purify the body after menstruation.

A person who joins the Imam before rising from the ruku' has gotten that raka'ah. In congregational prayer, if a person joins the Imam while he is in the ruku' (bowing position), then he should say the takbir and perform the ruku' with the Imam. After that, he should say "Sami'allahu liman hamidah" and stand up to join the Imam in the next raka'ah. In this case, the person has joined the prayer with the Imam before rising from the ruku' and he has gotten that raka'ah. However, if the person joins the Imam after the Imam has risen from the ruku', then he has missed that raka'ah and needs to complete it after the Imam has finished the prayer. The person should not join the Imam at all if the Imam has already said the taslim (salam) to end the prayer. And there is no such thing as Sujudul Badi in Islamic prayer.

A female Muslim should cover all her body except her palm and face. The requirement for modest dress for Muslim women is mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadith. While there are differences in interpretation among scholars, the majority agree that women should cover their entire body except for their face and hands. This is based on the principle of modesty and the importance of safeguarding one's physical appearance from the gaze of others. Some Muslim women also choose to cover their face with a veil or niqab as an additional expression of their faith and commitment to modesty.

The compilation of al-Quran was primarily due to the death of the memorizers. During the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the revelations were written down on various materials by different companions. However, the final and authoritative copy of the Quran was compiled during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, shortly after the death of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Many of the companions who had memorized the Quran had died during battles and wars, and there was a growing concern that the Quran might be lost if it was not compiled in a single volume. Therefore, under the leadership of Abu Bakr, a committee was formed to collect and compile the revelations into a single book, which is now known as the Quran. Thus, the death of the memorizers is the main factor responsible for the compilation of the Quran.
